A symposium at the College of Education for Pure Sciences highlights the role of green hydrogen in sustainable energy
The College of Education for Pure Sciences at the University of Samarra presented “Green Hydrogen and Its Role in the Development of Sustainable Energy” in a scientific symposium delivered by Assist. Lect. (Sara Sajid Tawfiq), a teaching staff member in the Department of Physics at the college.
The organizers of the symposium aimed to introduce green hydrogen and how it is produced using renewable energy, represented by solar energy (using solar cells) or wind energy (using turbines).
Green hydrogen is environmentally friendly, especially since its production is not accompanied by carbon emissions, unlike other types such as blue or gray hydrogen.
Meanwhile, (Sara) mentioned some Arab countries that have produced and used green hydrogen and are also planning to export it, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt, pointing out that Iraq enjoys a geographical location that allows it to use these sources instead of importing fuel or gas from abroad.
In turn, (Sara) recommended the necessity of paying attention to scientific research, establishing laboratories and infrastructure concerned with the production of renewable energy sources and green hydrogen, in addition to stimulating investment and international cooperation to serve the region, as well as introducing scientific curricula specialized in renewable energy.
